About Us
The Office of Multicultural Programs and Retention strives to create an educational enterprise that values multiculturalism, where the value of diversity is not only acknowledged but also actively pursued and celebrated through every fiber of the University community. We foster a campus climate that moves beyond the basic concept of being civil toward those who are different to being engaged with those differences. We aim to create a campus culture that recognizes, appreciates and values the cultural and ethnic backgrounds, religious beliefs, sexual orientations, economic statuses, abilities (both physical and mental), political beliefs and ideologies of those who comprise our campus and surrounding communities.
